We Value:

A health and wellness process which is the primary responsibility of the student, but which is also shared by family, district and community.

Accountability for all students to be prepared, on time and give 100% effort at all times. We believe students should accept responsibility and consequences for personal decisions and behaviors.

Positive attitudes, cooperative collaboration, and appropriate communication in ways that promote and maintain dignity and respect for all.

The alignment of a diverse curriculum to meet State standards and allow students an elective process for activities which best suit their personal, fitness and health education needs.

A comprehensive program which values creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Annual Trifit assessments for all students so they can compare, contrast and analyze data to make appropriate decisions about their health and well-being.

An environment that promotes learning through competition, sportsmanship, and team-building.

Students' ability to have knowledge of the 5 health related components of fitness and apply them within their physical training throughout their lives. (Muscular Strength, Muscle Endurance, Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance, Body Composition)
